Canyon Country Sunset Helicopter Tour

Moab, UT60 minutes
★★★★★4.9(128 reviews)

About This Adventure

The canyon walls at dusk are something else entirely. This 60-minute sunset helicopter flight covers all the highlights — Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point, Potash Ponds, Castle Valley — bathed in the deep amber of golden hour. The evening light transforms the sandstone in ways that require being at altitude, with the full geography spread below, to believe.

Your pilot times each approach for maximum effect: over the Colorado River confluence as the canyon walls turn amber, above the turquoise Potash Ponds as the shadow line advances across the desert. Departs one hour before sunset daily.
